I bought an awesome skirt at REI last night that was rated UPF 50! It'll keep your penis from burning and getting dat cancer.

Afternoon or evening of the 28th would work for me for the swap.

4/18/2012 10:05:34 AM

4/18/2012 10:21:07 AM

4/18/2012 11:10:40 AM

"How's April 28th work for the swap?"

time? I'd prefer afternoon-ish.

4/18/2012 1:52:14 PM

Yeah I have to be at a Birthday party to attend that day out in Willow Spring at 4:30 so I would prefer an lunchtime swap if possible. lol

[Edited on April 18, 2012 at 2:19 PM. Reason : Sundays are good days for swaps as well.]

4/18/2012 2:18:42 PM

I was def thinking afternoonish. It's just I have a bridal shower to go to on the 29th that is right smack in the middle of the day (2:30-4:30).

Um um! I guess PM me your email address and I'll send out invites. how about 1 PM? I'll have some finger food in case you ate an early lunch

On a separate note, has anyone ever been to that Southern Women's Show? It's also that Fri-Sun.

4/18/2012 3:28:36 PM

great news, i wore a new dress that had gotten to the back of my closet because i thought it wasn't that great when i got it. but i wore it last night and didn't see what made me not like it in the first place...

4/19/2012 11:11:41 AM

I do that a lot.

All it takes is that one compliment and you're all "oh dag, this is moving to the front"

4/19/2012 11:12:37 AM

well, we were just going to look at bathroom fixture stuff, so nobody complimented me lol

the dress is teal and the bangle is turquoise. i dunno why my phone turned it royal blue. The scarf has teal and turquoise in it too.

4/19/2012 11:46:31 AM

I really like this dress











[Edited on April 19, 2012 at 12:08 PM. Reason : i don't know where that sailor dress picture came from]

4/19/2012 11:53:28 AM

^ i really like the stripe dress

but no way i'd pay $70 for it

4/19/2012 12:05:01 PM

agreed

also GREEN JAY you look like you're up to no good lol

4/19/2012 12:07:00 PM

yeah she does!!! scheming on some bathroom fixtures WHAT WHAT

4/19/2012 12:13:05 PM

yall must think my clothing budget is crazy then

4/19/2012 12:22:17 PM

4/19/2012 12:37:53 PM

i have been wanting a stripe casual dress & finally found one at banana

i got it for $40 with a coupon

http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=69886&vid=1&pid=903987

the model does this dress no justice

i'm going to toot my own horn here and say that i'm killing the dress (you can only see my boobs and i dont have a pic of the whole thing but really, thats the only part people care ab right?)

4/19/2012 12:38:43 PM

TRUTH

4/19/2012 12:39:27 PM

lol synapse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was going through my bookmarks to find that

4/19/2012 12:42:44 PM

I spend less on clothes and more on quality food, then I look good in anything.

4/19/2012 12:42:54 PM

that's a lie

I spend a lot on clothes and quality food

now what

4/19/2012 12:45:03 PM

I've been spending less on regular clothes and more on athletic clothes and now I have nothing good to wear because I definitely don't fit into the clothes I wore this time last year...

4/19/2012 12:47:31 PM

The paleo thing has done more for me than anything else, except maybe the thyroid pills. I feel like I should be in commercials for nature-throid. It's that good.

^ I'm lucky I haven't lost that much so everything still mostly fits. I'm just finally getting stronger. I can use the pull up bar for the first time in my life. I need to start running because my ass is disappearing.

I LOVE that dress. Does it run true to size? I didn't see it at the local banana, so I'll probably have to order online.

4/19/2012 1:10:16 PM

fuck no. im wearing an extra small, which i am not. sometimes i run small to medium in size, rarely large.

its has a nice stretch to it without being stretchy. try an xs & if you really love it and it's too big try having it tailored

actually now that you bring this up, this is prob why the model looks like shit in the dress but i would think they'd at least pull it tight in the back so you could see that the dress actually has an hour glass shape built it, it's not a straight line. there is room for a figure in there!

also the material is thick enough that its not clingly & doesnt show every single lump or bump. very forgiving

4/19/2012 2:05:04 PM

ugh I can't decide between the big striped BR dress or the mini striped BR dress

4/19/2012 2:21:39 PM

Ladies! Please let me know your email address! I found my old invites from Brandi for the last two, but there are no email addresses on there

For the swap

4/19/2012 2:56:24 PM

Even though it's only April, I need to start thinking about my dress for the V Gala this year.

I kinda want something bright and fun since I did black last year.

4/19/2012 3:04:22 PM

guuuhhh there are like 4 bags I want from BR (like the envelope clutch, but in pink or tan/cream, neither of which are offered online). my roommate has a 40% off on wednesdays coupon so manybe I'll treat myself next week.

4/19/2012 3:14:05 PM

hoooooollly chit - I've been snacking on banana chips here and there for the last couple weeks because I found them in bulk for $2.99/lb (which is a LOT). I've always known dried fruit was high in calories/sugars but just looked up the actual amounts - one 3oz serving is 441 calories.

4/19/2012 3:58:27 PM

eeek, yeah that's why i plug in everything I eat into myfitnesspal before I eat it to see calories/serving size, then I get to adjust intake and what I had put in

4/19/2012 4:00:48 PM

yeah you have to watch out for the dried stuff. i stick to a clean diet and just follow some basic rules. i don't calorie count and it seems to work. i've lost a bunch of weight and went down in size, which means i've had to buy a shit ton of new clothes

by the way.....i want that envelope purse!!!! i've been looking for one

[Edited on April 19, 2012 at 5:24 PM. Reason : edit]

4/19/2012 5:24:15 PM

that purse would be cute without that pilgrim buckle on it

and I like buckles

4/19/2012 5:26:31 PM

are these shoes appropriate with this dress?





these are the shoes...they are cute on...just awkward looking in the picture

4/19/2012 8:08:39 PM

Is the dress black and white? I say yes!

4/19/2012 9:13:11 PM

indeed it is

For those always trying to figure out what shape dress fits their shape body...here's a good slide show.

those igigi tunics and infinity dresses are on sale for a couple more hrs 20% off, diva...

I got the 2 dresses I posted a couple posts back... the burgundy one and the print one

[Edited on April 20, 2012 at 4:55 PM. Reason : i love that slate blue and hot pink but it will have to wait for the clearance rack... in 6 months ]

4/20/2012 4:53:02 PM

the slate and pink is my fav

damnit I'm poor this week

4/20/2012 4:57:28 PM

i got a slip from evans too and some leggings and skirts and jeans i found for $5 each on osp. i'm not going to buy anything else for like 6 months so i might have to gtfo of this thread

4/20/2012 5:04:42 PM

I really want this but I think it would probably just look baggy on me. So pretty though!

How useful do you think this would be? I've been wanting an infinity dress.

4/20/2012 5:28:21 PM

A gf and I went gym shopping today. It's impossible to decide on one. We sat down to go over the pros and cons of each one and worked out the yearly cost, but they all work out to be pretty comparable. Blargh. It shouldn't feel like such an important decision.

4/21/2012 12:53:53 AM

I need a comfortable pair of neutral/white sandals to wear with casual summer dresses.

Can I do this, or do these look like Mom sandals?

4/22/2012 11:35:55 AM

Definitely not mom-ish.

i spent the weekend in NJ and had to run to the mall (hello The Plaza) and there's a new store that has opened either earlier this year or late last year called C Wonder. They currently have 4 stores - 3 in NY and 1 in NJ and are opening more in the next year (expanding to Atlanta and DC in the fall) and the store is awesome! lots of clean-line, classic clothes that are high quality and affordable for the kind of fabric/materials used.

I got a pair of skinny red/pink stretch jean/khaki material pants, a silk blouse, and a cardigan. they sell bags, do embroidery, jewelry, little knick knacks for the house, shoes, dresses, tops, pants, jackets, etc. lots of fun colors (like pink, green, navy, orange, etc) and most of their stuff can easily mix and match.

you can order online which means now i will probably stalk the hell out of their website.
